Stephen King has apparently said today he thinks he should pay more tax......... he is among a rare group of rich folks who don't approve that they get to pay proportionally less tax than very much poorer folk............. You know, I thought he was a pretty nice guy :-))) .........

I used this spread from the Sunday Times Magazine as part of my presentation to the WPO Business of Photography course on Sunday evening ........ or rather Matt did....... I had the slightly alarming thing where Matt had built the presentation and sent it over .... I had not seen it ...... It was coming up on screen I was talking to it ..... While seeing it for the first time hehehehe............ amazingly it all went pretty well ......... people seemed to rate my off the cuff spontaneous spiel according to WPO staff monitering these things :-)))) ........ hehehe....... Although I think the moderator was alarmed that I and it was sort of crazy...........

Is it about Stephen King????? He has got to be an American god..... I think Carrie sells more copies than the bible ? Well that is probably not right but more copies than the Koran in America at least hehehe......... :-)))))))))))

That's a nicely designed two page spread, not sure I'm as impressed by the way they've cropped your image though.[reply]Harv.! @ May 1, 2012, 3:18 pm

you know I really like this DPS....... OK so would rather it was not cropped but hey I have seen so much worse......... and I genuinely like the finished spread........... so I am happy...... it is possible to risk your neck in Iraq only for them to put up some pretend concept page instead of a mighty image.......... i gotta say when it looks like this u just smile...... (with relief hehehehe)....... and dont worry about the crop...........

Yeh, I`ve read American Gods as well, good book.. Well, Just call you Mr Off The Cuff, it just rolls off the tongue so easy for some people..hee,hee.. of course, it makes it easier when you aint bull sh****g your way through a talk.. You walk the walk,so you can talk the talk... Hope all is good Bro[reply]Paul S @ May 1, 2012, 3:37 pm

Its true the projection was of things we really do........ and I only talked about things we really do......... so its def not bulllshit....... and yet the fact of u being up front telling people what to do feels kinda silly..........:-))))))))))))))

It's funny with all the blue in the spread. Blue is supposedly a calming color. Obviously, SK's material is not calming. Little tricks around every corner. [reply]Megan @ May 2, 2012, 3:48 pm

Yes the jacket gives u a bit more of a blood theme....... :-/ :-) and the hands....... having them up front with the perspective working as it does kind of gives hime the giant beast hands........ hehehehe...... but in the sea of calming blue......... hehehehe......... I once photographed Anne Rice in New Orleans her house is pretty creepy I can tell u ........ :-)))))))))) Cheers Jez XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX[reply]Jezblog London :-)) XXX @ May 2, 2012, 5:54 pm

My Mom went to school with Anne Rice. She always said she was a little "off". I would love to hear about that experience. [reply]Megan @ May 2, 2012, 6:33 pm

Well its a while back now but I flew into NO....... went up to her place she was welcoming enough but kind of aloof....... but her place was full of weird stuff like carved vintage skeletons and skulls with roses in their mouths stuffed owls ........ it was interesting but weird...... the house and its contents more than her creeped me out........... :-)))))) I think i do not have those pics otherwise i would put them up for you :-)))))))))

I unbelievably knew nothing about Hogwarts back then...... but seriously weird stuff....... the wooden skeleton........ very weird dark wood very creepy thing........ the house itself....... it was more like a horror set than a home....... hehehehe........
